Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Conclusions: damage to the active electrode which is consistent with minute device mobility was determined to have led to device failure over time due to fatigue breakages.Also, an impact to the head might have weakened the fixation of the active electrode and could also be a factor for electrode mobility.The investigation results appear to match the problems mentioned in the recipient report.This is a final report.
